Welcome to Term 2

Dear Parents,

Welcome back everyone.

 I hope that you made the most of those lovely, sunny Autumn days when we got them! Let’s hope that as we head into Winter we can avoid too much sickness at school. It is not too late to get free flu injections for your children if you haven’t already done so.
Our RE focus for Term 2 is JESUS which we will begin after Easter and a small study of Prayer.
This term, the whole school is thinking about SUSTAINABILITY. In Room 1, we will start with the tale of “Hermit Crab” by Eric Carle in order to integrate The Arts and lead into our focus on the Estuary. We will visit the Estuary by local bus if the weather allows on Wednesday 14th May. Please send $2.00 this week for bus fare and we will need sturdy shoes or gumboots and a jacket on the day. Our other learning area will be Technology where we will become familiar with our new tablets and discuss cybersafety with a programme called “Hector’s World”.

Kiwi sport continues this term and PMP begins. THANK YOU to those of you who have offered to help. We begin on Tuesday .

Our English focus is Description writing and we hope to have many experiences which will provide us with real opportunities to write in a meaningful way.
Remember to log into our blog (stannes101.blogspot.co.nz ) to keep up with our learning in Room 1. We love to get your comments here.
Reports are written at 6 weeks then 6 monthly but you are welcome to make an appointment at any time.
